Memorial services were held Saturday for 72-year-old Fred Richardson, a victim of last week's bus crash on Highway 38 north of Yucaipa that killed eight people, at Loma Linda Filipino Seventh-day Adventist Church in Redlands.

Richardson, a longtime resident of Mountain Home Village east of the crash site, was driving home on the highway when he was struck by the tour bus carrying tourists from San Diego and Tijuana.

The bus, owned by Scapadas Magicas Tours in National City, was returning from Big Bear Lake when its driver, Norberto Perez, lost control of the vehicle above the Mill Creek Ranger Station, authorities said.
